While opinions differ across Tehran's Grand Bazaar about ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, there's one thing those in the beating heart of Iran's capital city agree on: U.S. sanctions hurt the average person, not those in charge.
While opinions differ across Tehran's Grand Bazaar about the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran over its unraveling nuclear deal, there's one thing those in the beating heart of Iran's capital city agree on: American sanctions hurt the average person, not those in charge.
Under the nuclear deal, Iran agreed to have less than 300 kilograms of uranium enriched to a maximum of 3.67%, which can be used for power stations but is far below weapons-grade levels of 90%. Both Iran and the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency confirmed Monday that Tehran had broken through that limit.
On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urged Iran to"show restraint, not yield to emotions." China expressed regret, while French President Emmanuel Macron urged Iran to reduce its stockpile. "They think they can just come and occupy a country by sending four warships to the region," Larijani said. He also warned other countries in the region not to join any U.S. coalition against it, saying:"If they rally against us, they will have to pay the price for it."
While some blame Trump for the tensions, Mehdi Hamzeh Nia, a 39-year-old appliance salesman, applauded the U.S. president as a"successful businessman, a man who knows what he's doing and doesn't want others to know what he's doing."
